The Renault Laguna, a comfortable family car produced between 1993 and 2001, boasts a unique presence on our roads. While not officially sold in New Zealand, this first-generation model has made its mark through private imports. Known for its spacious interior and practical design, the Laguna prioritizes comfort, making it an exceptional choice for families on the go.
Typical Renault issues exist--for example electrics and rust. The import of these cars into New Zealand will also mean parts can be harder to find.
WOF checks are standard. Rust and structural components and safety requirements must be checked.
The Laguna was designed with comfort and space in mind, featuring a practical body and a selection of reliable engine options. However, to ensure its longevity, maintenance is key. Common parts requiring attention include the braking system, with both front and rear brake components often needing replacement to maintain optimal performance. Regular service intervals, typically every 10,000 km, provide a good opportunity to check essential systems like brakes and fluids - we offer service packs for both Front and Rear Brake Services to make this easier for you. Another crucial area to monitor is the cooling system, particularly around the 150,000 km mark, when components like the water pump, thermostat, and radiator hoses should be inspected to prevent overheating.

Remember, while the Laguna is often reliable, addressing potential issues like electrical quirks and rust early can save you time and money down the line, giving you peace of mind to enjoy your unique ride fully.
